Operation Friendly Fire
by Morgan
Lyrics
Verse 1
Oh the Yankees sailed up to the maple line
Stars and stripes flappin’
Thinkin’ “This is fine”
“Just some snow
Some moose
And polite old folk”
Then the first shoe flew
And the dream went up in smoke (hey!)
Chorus
So raise your glass to the Great White Wall
They brought tanks
We brought it all
From the trash and the stash and the backroom stall
They were crushed by the things you can’t buy at the mall
They had guns
We had gear and a wicked grin
They said “We’ll win
” we said “Buddy
Come on in”
Oh the day the north said “Bless your heart”
And tore an empire clean apart
Verse 2
Marchin’ in formation down the cul-de-sac
Met by Karen in a bathrobe yellin’ “Step back”
Squads got pelted from the condo balconies
Sticky
Stinky hail in a hundred hues of “please”
Chorus
So raise your glass to the Great White Wall
They brought tanks
We brought it all
From the trash and the stash and the backroom stall
They were crushed by the things you can’t buy at the mall
They had guns
We had gear and a wicked grin
They said “We’ll win
” we said “Buddy
Come on in”
Oh the day the north said “Bless your heart”
And tore an empire clean apart
Bridge
They had flags
They had speeches
They had bloated pride (so proud)
We had brains
We had jokes
We had “step outside”
When the smoke all cleared and the files were scanned
Turned out the real sharp tools were holdin’ rubber in their hands
Chorus
So raise your glass to the Great White Wall
They brought tanks
We brought it all
From the trash and the stash and the backroom stall
They were crushed by the things you can’t buy at the mall
They had guns
We had gear and a wicked grin
They said “We’ll win
” we said “Buddy
Come on in”
Oh history’s song has a punchline too
And it laughs in their face while it points at you (hey!)
